Gatlin: ‘If She Was A Boy’

When the artist Gatlin was ready to write new material for her debut album, she knew that she needed to recruit some talented queer women to help. The day before the session, Gatlin flipped through the pages of an old journal to find an entry about the first time she had a crush on a girl. One of the lines was: “If she was a boy I’d be in love.” Together, Gatlin, Chloe Kraemer and Amanda Cy worked their magic and “If She Were A Boy” was written in a flash.
